Question

Am I too old?

We are just starting to try for a third child. I am 38. Anyone else close to my age and pregnant or thinking about concieving? Wondering how good my chances are at this age.

You are NOT too old. Go for it! It might take a little longer to conceive but you have a good chance for a pregnancy. Best to you.

We are going to try for our 3rd in November. You are totally not too old. You may be high risk at your OB..but I am sure you can sustain a healthy pregnancy. My husband will be 42 when we have our 3rd... I don't think age is an issue truly unless you are too unhealthy. Go for it momma!

Not too old, I have 12 year old twins who were born when I was 27, my little boy is 14 months and I was 38 when I had him plus I am currently 18 weeks pregnant with another little boy who will be born just before I turn 40. in addition it took my husband and I longer to concieve when I was 27 ( took 6 months) whereas in my late thirties we've conceived within 3 months both times. Good luck

Definitely not too old. I had my first just after turning 40. Now we are trying for #2 and I am 43. Hubby will be 50. Hoping for BFP in next couple of days. Baby dust to you :)

My mom did this, there are 4 of us kids… the last one (my little sister) is the youngest my mom had her at 38… she and I are 10 yrs apart… my mom is now 54 with a 16 yr old. I love my little sister with all my hear but we have never really been able to relate due to the age gap… my mom is also recently a grandma and isn't able to be a true grandma bc she is too busy worrying about my little sister. I harbor some resentment that my mom only has time to see my little one (her first grand baby) maybe once a month. we live in the SAME TOWN.
